“Lesnar finished his amateur career as a two-time NJCAA All-American, two-time NCAA All-American, two-time Big Ten Champion, and the 2000 NCAA heavyweight champion with a record of 106-5 overall in four years of college.”

But I guess amatuer wrestling doesn’t count?

He’s just a jackass. If Kongo had kept the fight standing, Herring would have stupidly tried to go toe-to-toe with him and gotten KO’d. I’m hoping Kongo comes back with some serious ground skills. He would be a serious force a HW.

I admire the fact that Lesner immediately trained in submissions after losing like a rookie to a submission that he should have seen coming. He’s got talent and way more power than anyone else. Give him another year or two fighting at UFC calibur and I’m sure he’ll be a monster. Still, I’m of the opinion that you don’t belong in the UFC if you only have a couple pro fights and no amature fights to speak of. To be honest, Lesner might be a great investment for the UFC, but not because he’ll be the champ before his contract is up: they paid him $300K+ to make Frank Mir look good again. Frank Mir would be a perfect HW champ in every respect: talent, class, well-spoken, good looking – that dude would be fantastic for the UFC. If he can beat Nog (the man who cannot be killed), he could be the best thing the UFC’s HW division has ever seen.

Lesnar is a monster with one hole in his game which he appears to be closing up. The guy will be unstoppable very soon. Herring looked like a different fighter last time out but it won’t be enough in UFC87.

Lesnar will be the HW champ in 1-2 yrs, no doubt. That was the most impressive debut (albeit a minute long, and a loss) I have seen in a long time.

His comment to Rogan afterwards cracked me up…something about not knowing it was going to turn into a wrestling match. Maybe he thought it was K-1?

Big muscles do signify gassing in MOST people – but I mean as a wrestler I know the cardio work that would go into practice- -and i just cannot see Brock gassing easily. Brock 1st or 2nd rd TKO

When I saw that he was Lesner’s next opponent, I figured it was quite a step down from Mir, just like Coleman would have been. If he is as good or better than he showed against Mir up until the kneebar, I think he will wreck Herring.

Also, how easy is it for a wrestler to learn the bjj game? I would think it would be a much smoother transistion than it would be for a striker. Wouldn’t it be sick if Lesner eventually adds that to his offensive arsenal?
